Reading for pleasure is sharply down among schoolkids, report shows (opens in new tab)

I was at a friends house for a party and their kids are not on screens. They are very active in their children's lives which influences their children's behavior. The kids were busy running around and playing with the other kids who came. They have a back yard and enjoy playing outdoors. They play card and board games. Both are on teams, one soccer, the other, baseball. They have a Switch and streaming TV but don't spend much time in front of them. They do this on their own. My friends joking...
